What's the cost of petrol over there now?

Thanks for the helpful (and not so helpful!) replies.

Don't be ridiculous of course it's not.

That is a communist propaganda newspaper. Petrol has been sold in gallons ever since the Conservatives won the election.

No, that's the price per gallon. Don’t confuse our Aussie friends.

To the OP. It's £1.14 - £1.20 per litre of Petrol. Very expensive. Vat is still 17.5% and going to 20% in the New Year.

Not sure why the posters above are trying to mislead you, very childish.

Woot, I've obviously not been keeping up with the changes since the election, thanks for the info.

Diesel was 1.17 a litre a couple of days back. Don't follow petrol sorry, but Paddy says 40p a litre.

38 per a litre near me, but the Esso garage is 42p. Such a rip off. Tesco's is doing a BOGOFF on Diesel but again I don't use it so not sure of the price.

The Labour Government is no longer in power. The new coalition has cut petrol prices to 40 pence per litre. VAT is now only 5%. Contractors have the first £20 of tax free and any earnings above that can be taken in dividends. Corporation tax is 10%.

Missus is taking a trip back soon - need to steel myself for the horror of filling up a hire car.

Prices are dropping here right now, any sign of the same over there?

I assume that "over there" means the UK.

Can't give you the spot price as it is today, but 10 UK gallons weighs in at about 50 quid, so a fiver per UK gallon puts you in the right ball park.

Isn't made any easier that they dispense fuel in litres but measure distance and speed using miles.

Bring back imperial measurements I say. At least petrol was cheaper when dispensed by the gallon. Those ruddy metric pumps are obviously more expensive to run....
